This is another one of those series where people believe it's a game but it's actually another world right... uff our mc will probably suffer alot when she realizes that...

Thanks for the chapter! ❤️

I don't know, but would the last one be leah's sister? (Idk I'm only keeping up with the Novel Updates so I'm at like ch 221, but that would be my educated guess)
Nah, her sister has yet to become a calamity but becomes one after her. Additionally, these 6 are only the calamities that humans are aware of.

I've read stuff where NPCs are abusing game mechanics, but that's typically in a more psychological horror-style setting. Cool to see this take on it :pepehmm: calls into question whether they should be regarded as true sentience, and whether it's unethical to use them as set pieces in the game

Flying wasps holding cannon ants.
*Fortunate Son intensifies.

Also, some of these player names are pretty amusing.
Ginoregamesh (the joke is no + re in kana look a lot like 'ru', so his name looks like 'Gilgamesh', which I assume got taken by someone else first)

Monkey Dive Sasuke (One Piece + Naruto...)
EDIT: Laisy added that this is likely also based on Sarutobi (monkey + leaping/'diving') Sasuke.

Countrypop

Mentalist (menta in kanji + list)

I do wonder how many people will notice the 'player can side with monster' clause in the event detail.
“Ginolgamesh/Ginoregamesh” —> he actually did just straight up said he wanted “Gilgamesh” but someone got it first so he compromised. So i guess in english terms, he leet-speaked his name.

IIRC the original name was taken so he did smth like replacing 'B' with 'l3' so that it looks like a 'B', except with Japanese characters. Since it's an english translation, the novel translator just got creative with it.

glad this didn't get purged, thanks for the translation! i hope at least this event arc gets finished in a year...next chap should be the forum and gathering, then finally would be the capital battle start lasting another 3 chapters maybe...then probably Blanc's story would be 2 chapters after that...finally 6 more chapters should be for Oral and finale...monthly is such a long wait...

if i remember it correctly
1 out of 6 is last boss of the game that also defeated before the novel end gold dragon, the rest 2 end up nothing but fodder for leah pet(insect king and Poseidon), 1 end up as weekly boss like thing after leah defeat the original(homunculus angel), 1 of them become leah friend who obsesed with Leah blood(true ancestor vampire queen) i forgot the last one of 6 calamity
how could ya'll remember the arch angel but not the arch demon? Sure the guy's identity is mixed with a dragon but he has a lot more screen time than the 2 fodders and even fought in the tournament arc.

Just WN TL adapting it since it's a joke that doesn't translate directly.

But anything to replace the L with something close to it works to keep the joke.

capital i, 1, |, etc.

I believe the English LN uses "Gealgamesh", so the joke becomes "name was taken, used a soundalike" instead of "name was taken, used a lookalike" (close enough IMO).

Speaking of - if anyone's wondering about whoever took the handle Gilgamesh, it's
just a rando: the guy with the knock-off username became famous while the OG name is a nobody. We'll be meeting them soon enough - happens roughly 2/3 through LN volume 2 and we're hardly past 10% so far

npc respawning is kind of boring, i mean mc has a infinite army she doesn't have to worry about losing a soldier the respawn should at least cost something like in overlord that requires tons of money
